I have heard it over and over and over again from many people that it always rains in England. Are you serious people? This is the best weather I have experienced in quite some time. Matt and I live in an apartment in southern England, Portsmouth to be exact. We are very lucky, because we live right by the ocean, I love the view, and the air is awesome. The fact that we are so far south could have something to do with the weather, I don't know, but seriously, in the last month that I have been here I think it rained like 4 times. Sure, it drizzled once in awhile, but then sunshine followed, and I don't count that.
Sunshine...that is another topic all together. For the last year that I lived in Moscow I haven't seen much of sun. Moscow is the greyest city I have ever lived in. No, during the entire winter, which lasts about 4-5 months there, there could be 4-5 days of sun, I am not exaggerating, ask my sister, she will confirm. So, after a year of that, I came to England and it's mid-fall here and there is sun every day. It's beautiful, really. The sky is blue and it's sunny, who cares that it's windy a little, the sun is out. Oh, and it's pretty warm. Mid-october and it's 65F outside. Insane. I even went to Starbucks without a jacket on today, just a light sweater (yes, there is Starbucks here and it's only 4 minutes away from our apartment if that, and no, I don't go there very often, that is my second time since I have moved here).
Anyway, the point is I love weather in England, I could live with this weather, I could live with the scenery, I simply just could live here. I never thought that weather affects me, because I don't get depressed or anything, but it does affect me, because I certainly am more motivated and cheerful when it's nice out. And I am more prone to go out let's say to the library or even the grocery store, just because it's nice out and what the heck, why not take a stroll. Well, you get the picture, I am pretty happy with the fact that while I was expecting it to be grey and rainy and cold England, instead I got sunny, dry and rather warm England. Somebody up there must love me :)

yeah, moscow is the greyest and on top of that the stupidest city in the world i think. although scandinavian countries might beat it on the grey side. not sure... but the Blacks told me a while ago that England has beautiful nature and weather. and now you are saying the same. so i guess i love England even more :) too bad i have to move to Germany. but then again, it's gonna be the South of Germany and as i've heard it's pretty nice too :)
i wish i could come and visit you while you are still there. man. i should figure something out. i have to come! i love Portsmouth!
